DIAVAL (2) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 2.75 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1200m at this track. Big chance based on that effort. MAGGIANO (5) came home strongly last start to finish third, beaten 1.2 lengths, over 1200m at this track on debut. Leading player again. SOUND OF FREEDOM (6) returns after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a seventh over 1400m at this track. One of the leading chances. BULLET CATCH (11) ran a better race last time at his second career start when fifth over 1100m at this track. Progressive type who is nearing a win.
